Quick Take

Smaller than most studio apartments, this room is bringing bands and their fans closer together. It's a mini cauldron of punk, ska and garage rock.

Our Review

Around the corner from the 9:30 club and DC9, this tiny oasis features a downstairs bar and upstairs performance space barely bigger than a walk-in closet. It's home to noisy, edgy, experimental bands, many local but a good number of them out-of-towners looking to get a foothold in Washington.

-- Richard Harrington (Nov. 2, 2007)
